The Birthday of Christ in the
Shadow of the Pulpits of
the City.
Many Elaborate Programmes
Prepared for the People
by Various Pastors.
The Churches Will Ring With
Echoes of Glad Christ
mas Carols.
A Directory That May Be Of
Benefit to Visitors to
the City.

Christmas day will be specially OBJ
served in all the churches of the city
to-day. A glance at the programmes
offered by the various churches this
morning will show that the sermons, to
be treated have been carefully selected
for the occasion, and that the music is
of the highest order of excellence. 1t
so happens, this year, that Christmas
falls on Sunday, and for this reason
the choir directors have exerted them
selves to give their congregations some
thing extra in musical way. Many of
the choirs have been reinforced by eX-
ira singers, and in every church no eff
forts have been spared to do all honor to
the greatest of Christian festivals.

Too little attention is paid to the food pre-

as to cook 1t in the manner they find the east

kissing as an Amusement.

It may be asserted in a general way, that
wherever in the United States you do not find
dancing, you find kissing. In communities
where dancing was disapproved l have seen
string games" called for and carried into
practice at entertainments held in school
houses and even at church sociables. In such
pIac,s church members and, for aught
know. deacons, take part in the amuSeinrat; !;
and have seen it develop a friskiness, 81 to
speak, in grizzle1 men, which made them, one
would say, anything hut seductive or beguil-
ing to the young and fair. Among those OF
earlier years kissing becomes in such com
munities a systematic pursuit, like hunting
or fishing Young girls whose parents object
to il are neglected or disliked; young man
in such village told a friend of mine, with
some Indignation, that she was the only girl
In town whom he had not kissed.
1t is of no use TO object TO it as immoral
where the church members are committed to
it. Perhaps it cannot lie called Immoral. but
when society has reached a certain stage OF
refinement these games vanish. The symbol
of that increased refinement is usually danc-
ing. Dancing, whatever its drawbacks, serves

The practice of allowing children TO go out
at night TO find their own companions and
their own places of amusement may leave one
in twenty unscathed and without danger; but
think that nineteen out Of twenty fall down
wounded or destroyed. And if there is one
thing that should be more imperative than
another it is that your children shall be at
home at night: or that, il they are abroad,
you shall he abroad with them. There may
lie things that it is best that you should do
for your children though you would not do
them for yourselves; but thev ought not to
20 anywhere at night, to see sights, or TO
take pleasure, unless You can go with them,
until they are grown to mans estate and
their habits are formed. And nothing is
more certain than that to grant the child lib

restraints in the darkness Of night is bad and
only had, and that continually.-Henry

An exceedingly ludicrous and also exas
perating incident Of the complaint about
household service is the statement that the
maids are not treated with sufficient dignity,
One Of the loudest complaints we have heard
Is that well bred person, who, deciding to
take service. was driven from it through hu-
initiation occasioned by the master of the
house standing up before her, without q
word, to he helped with his greatcoat, taking
the help for granted, as If she were an au-
tonaton
Yet in such q case the maid fails to real
ize that the more she is treated like an au-
tomaton by the gentlemen of the house, the
better it Is for her. She does not or she
should not, desire to be either a lady-using
the word technically, and with no reflection
on her good manners-or an individual with
them, and the prouder and more high spirited
she is, the more readily she should perceive
this With the women Of the household it is
a very different matter, and it would be .
household SO far out Of the common sort as to
have escaped our notice where the female
members did not put their serving women on
a friendly footing, take personal interest in
their affairs, help them through their diff.
cu!ties and respect their Individuality
